#BoycottDove

This is such a very stupid marketing move at this stage. Read the room, Dove!

I’m genuinely curious about the the decision making there. Woke Social Media Intern strikes again?

Just flipping through a marketing piece on Dove

“Due to successful marketing objectives, Dove is the UK’s Bar Soap brand and 45% of the people bought a Dove product in 2010. In fact, 10.1 million women use Dove every week in the UK”

Aye and due to some tin ear marketing, that 10.1 million (how very dare they assume) figure will drop.

They want us but are happy to dump on us. And most of the end users and the majority of purchasers are women? Righty ho.

God the irony of the Dove self esteem project as they trample on Roviel Detenamo, Feagaiga Stowers, Luniarra Sipaia and all young women denied their Olympic dreams

@AnneLovesGilbert

Did someone start a list of decent brands? I’m sure there was a suggestion a while back.

This sort of right on desperate virtue signalling is embarrassing and very out of step with most people.

You're so right about the desperation! They obviously don't want my custom either.

Another reason why I buy lentil weaving brands from my local health food store (after I online search the hell out of them).

Just sent their customer services a message.

Dove isn't reading the room

Oh ffs I’ve just switched from shower gel to their beauty bars in an attempt to be more green. Why do these companies have to even be political

I just don't understand why brands do this. Fortunately, other soaps are available.

And don’t hold your breath. I’m fed up playing chess with these pigeons.

The ratios!!!

That's a shame.

Why can't they stay impartial. Ridiculous.

But in today’s ‘good news’... the ‘vagina’ museum isn’t getting its lease renewed (ahhhhhh) and they can’t find an alternative ‘suitable’ space up in Camden. It’s going to be (yet another) clothes store (for teen tourists to but overpriced knackered old stinky second hand duds).

I guess their target market didn’t step up and fill the gap of the women they hacked off. Sales and marketing 101 - don’t alienate your target and don’t tell honking porkie pies.

If the ASA were to require Dove to tell the truth, would the tweet have said "History in the making! Man who claims to be a woman participates in Olympics to the detriment of a female competitor. Here's to wondering why anyone let this happen!"?

Didn't think so.

Body positive ‘love the skin your in’ Dove is now keen to tell us to change bodies with hormones and change birth certificates and change everyone else’s ability to participate in sport and change everyone else’s language in order to spare the feelings of a fully grown, able bodied, white adult male?

that ratio is glorious

Isn't it!

This website has their company address if you scroll down.

I am not sure I would trust the ethical assessment of any magazine that partners with Lush (see the prize links at the bottom).

What’s the ratio?

FFS, Dove. What about a celebration of Emily Campbell? Absolutely fed up of this shite.

@PamDenick

What’s the ratio?

Wonderful

I don't get the ratio thing? Is that something to do with soap?

@PamDenick

What’s the ratio?

Sorry did you mean what does 'ratio' mean? It refers to the ratio of supportive tweets/retweets to unsupportive ones. Being 'ratio'd' means bucketloads of criticism to what you've tweeted.

😂

Unilever was already on my boycott list but it’s useful to get a reminder which brands that includes and why I’m boycotting them.
